MORROW & UMATILLA COUNTY

HISTORY Brief history of Morrow County: On Feb. 16, 1885, after passing through the Oregon Legislature earlier that month, Morrow County was created from the western portion of Umatilla County and a smaller portion of Wasco County. The county was named after an early settler of the area, Jackson Lee Morrow, a member of the Oregon House of Representatives who voted to carve out Morrow County.

He first arrived in Oregon in La Grande in 1864, where he served on the city council and as the Union County treasurer. The Morrow family in 1873 moved to what was called Standsbury Flat, becoming the town’s first residents. Later that year, Morrow renamed the town after his business partner, Henry L. Heppner, who helped Morrow open the town’s first store.

While Heppner was designated as the temporary county seat at the creation of Morrow County, it beat out Lexington in an election in 1886, making its position permanent.

Cattlemen driving their herds into the area to forage were the very beginning of settlements in the area, making stock raising the main economic activity for the county. Due to overgrazing, ranching practices declined in the early 1900s while agriculture rose to the top. After the completion of railroads into the county in 1883, wheat production became more popular as there was an easier way now for local farmers to transport their crops to market. Agriculture and livestock remain important industries in the county, along with lumber, utilities and food processing.

Brief history of Umatilla County:

Umatilla County was created in 1862 from a portion of Wasco County around the same time other nearby counties were forming such as Morrow and Wallowa counties.

MORROW & UMATILLA COUNTY

BUSINESS RESOURCES

ECONOMY

Morrow County: An economy that was fueled by ranching in its early days and then by the money generated at the Boardman Coal Plant (now closed) is fueled mostly by agriculture and food processing industries.

Umatilla County: Umatilla County’s economy was originally fueled by the gold rush but after the arrival of the railroad in 1881, agricultural industries such as dry-land wheat farming, irrigation, and the production of various other crops diversified the local economy. The addition of large data centers in recent years from companies, including Amazon, and major distribution facilities for large employers such as Walmart have further bolstered and diversified the growing local economy.

MORROW & UMATILLA COUNTY

MORROW & UMATILLA COUNTY

STATE PARKS

OUTDOOR RECREATION

Hat Rock State Park

Hiking

On Hat Rock Road in Hermiston. Hat Rock State Park sits along the south shore of Lake Wallula and offers a variety of water activities including swimming, boating and fishing. The park also offers a number of dry land activities such as hiking, birding and admiring the namesake of the park, a 70-foot tall basalt rock outcropping.

Emigrant Springs State Heritage Area

This state park is about 15 miles southeast of Pendleton in central Umatilla County. Situated in an old growth forest in the picturesque Blue Mountains, the park was once a popular campsite for emigrants traversing the Oregon Trail in the middle 19th century.

The park is now home to an Oregon Trail Interpretive Center and a commemorative marker for President Warren G. Harding. The park is open year round, with a campsite that includes tent sites, RV hookups and cabins for rent.

MORROW & UMATILLA COUNTY

COUNTY PARKS Twenty-Six miles southwest of Heppner and adjacent to Rock Creek, Anson Wright Park offers beautiful views with a campground that has tent camping, full recreational vehicle hook-up spots and one small cabin for rent. A great place for wildlife viewing and spending time with the family. The park that opened for camping and recreation in 1967 was donated to the county.

Cutsforth Park

This Umatilla County park is adjacent to the U.S. National Forest Service and private lands. A beautiful forested location that provides opportunities for camping, hiking, equestrian trails, fishing and hunting (large and small game). The park is along the Blue Mountain Scenic ByWay and the Blue Mountain Century Bikeway.

Morrow-Grant County OHV Park

The OHV (Off-highway-vehicle) park is 9,000 acres with 2,000 of those acres belonging to Grant County and 7,000 acres belonging to Morrow County. Morrow County owns and manages the remaining trail system and the campground at the park through a memorandum of understanding between the two counties. The park includes trails for all terrain vehicles, hiking, and biking with various levels of difficulty.

There are also horseshoe pits, a golf driving range, a playground and fishing ponds. The Rolling Hills Hunting preserves offers bird hunting packages in the area and is locally owned and operated.

This county park is 14 miles southeast of Milton-Freewater along the South Fork of the Walla Walla River. The park was originally started as a Boy Scout camp in the 1920s but was gifted to Umatilla County in 1950. The park offers camping and day use areas from early spring to late fall, while it is open.

Umatilla County Community Emergency Notification System

Sign up to receive emergency alerts and severe weather warnings that could directly impact you and your family.

Umatilla County is able to send emergency alerts via text message, email, pager, or voicemail (in extreme cases), based on your preferences. It is important that we collect this contact information because many households no longer utilize traditional land-based telephone lines.

The system is intended to be used for emergency alerts, as well as non-emergency incidents that may have significant impacts to residents. Emergency Alerts could be related to specific hazards that require some kind of action be taken such as evacuation, shelter-in-place, boil water orders, etc. Non-emergency alerts could include significant transportation problems with prolonged impacts or significant ongoing police or fire activity. This list is not meant to be all inclusive, and demonstrates that this system will not be used for routine information. In addition to receiving information on your wireless device, you may also receive notification on your land telephone line (if you have one) depending on the type of incident or event.

TOWNS & CITIES Boardman

P.O. Box 229, 200 City Center Circle, 97818 541-481-9252 • www.cityofboardman.com Samuel H. Boardman and his family began homesteading in the area that is now Boardman in 1903. He was the first superintendent of the Oregon State Parks System and was very involved with the development of roadside parks. His wife taught school in Boardman and the family spent years developing irrigation systems for the land and working on railroad construction projects in the area. In 1941, the U.S. Army Air Force established a training range south of Boardman. This training range was transferred to the U.S. Navy in 1960 and it is now known as the Naval Weapons Systems Training Facility Boardman. The 1960s also brought the construction of the John Day Dam along the Columbia River, which required a large portion of the city to move to the south farther from the water.

Lake Umatilla that formed behind the dam covers much of the original city.

Heppner

PO Box 756, 111 N. Main St., 97836 cityofheppner.org • 541-676-9618 Heppner was first founded in 1872 by Jackson Lee Morrow, who was later elected a member of the Oregon Legislative assembly. While serving in the Legislature, he was instrumental in creating Morrow County from portions of Umatilla County and Wasco County to house his newly founded town, Heppner. Morrow named the town after his longtime business partner and friend, Henry Heppner. Heppner is most known for the great flood disaster of 1903 that almost completely destroyed the town. During the flood, nearly a quarter of the town’s population perished and it remains one of the deadliest natural disasters to ever occur in Oregon’s history.

Sperry, named the town of Ione after a young girl named Ione Arthur, who had been visiting the Sperrys with her own family in 1883. The town’s first store was managed by a man named Aaron Royse, who later became the first postmaster in 1884 when the Ione Post Office was established. During the late 20th century sheep ranching was the most popular use of the land, but the 21st century brought new work to the area, including wheat farming and cattle ranching, both of which are still very popular today.

Irrigon

P.O. Box 428, 500 N.E. Main St., 97844 541-922-3047 • ci.irrigon.or.us Irrigon was named by a local newspaper editor, Addison Bennett, in 1903 who created a portmanteau, combining the words “Oregon” and “irrigation” to form “Irrigon.” Bennet saw irrigation as a vital business to the city and wanted the name of the town to represent that. The town was formerly the site of Grande Ronde Landing, a Columbia River landing that competed with Umatilla Landing, 8 miles up river, for business. The landing was eventually outcompeted and closed down.

The first post office was established in 1885. The following year Lexington lost by 33 votes to Heppner, in a local election for the county seat. During the Heppner flooding event of 1903, much of Lexington also was damaged. The local Baptist church was swept off its foundation and carried downstream, where it eventually crashed into the town’s only other church. After returning the Baptist church to its original location, it received a full restoration and still serves the community today as the Community Bible Church. Much like other towns in Morrow County, the industries of early settlers began with sheep ranching and later wheat farming and cattle ranching became popular as well.

Hardman (ghost town)

Hardman, Oregon is located about 20 miles southwest of Heppner. In the late 1800s, newspapers heavily advertised the area to settlers in the West, calling it a “thriving little trade center” and using words such as “grand” to describe the place.

The town which was originally called “Rawdog” or “Dogtown” by the locals was renamed “Hardman” after the town’s first postmaster, David N. Hardman, who arrived in the area in 1878 after crossing the plains with an ox train, as many had back then. In an 1892 article he penned these words; “this is the easiest country on the coast in which to make a good living.” Though it did not stay easy, in the 1920s the construction of a railroad nearby that passed through Heppner but bypassed Hardman was the beginning of the end for the little town. Today, the once booming community of Hardman is a ghost town. Some of the town’s buildings still stand today, including the Independent Order of Odd Fellows hall, built in 1900.

It was originally named Marshall but later changed to Pendleton after the politician George H. Pendleton. The community grew quickly and by 1900 Pendleton had become the fourth largest city in Oregon. The Pendleton Woolen Mills were started in 1893, and though the company today operates 41 retail stores and sells its products internationally, it still manufactures goods in the original Pendleton mill. The local CHI St.Anthony hospital was started in 1901 and still is in operation today as a level 4 trauma center.

The first Pendleton Round-Up was in 1910 and grew quickly within its first few years. The annual event now brings an average of 50,000 people to Pendleton for a full week of rodeo events September.

It wasn’t until the completion of the Cold Springs Reservoir in the area that allowed for irrigated agriculture to begin taking place. After the outbreak of World War II, Hermiston’s population more than doubled within a decade, due to the construction of the Umatilla Army Depot nearby. In the 1960s-70s the town and neighboring communities continued to steadily grow with the advent of center-pivot irrigation technology expanding the already successful agricultural industries in the area.

TOWNS & CITIES Milton-Freewater

P.O. Box 6, 722 S. Main St., 97862 www.mfcity.com • 541-938-5531 The history of Milton-Freewater at the beginning is a story of two separate towns. Milton was first platted in 1872 by William Samuel Frazier, a settler who emigrated from Texas. In the early 1880s, the town of Milton was officially incorporated and was home to around 400 people. Frazier was known to impose strict temperance laws in the area, which led some local residents to migrate northwest, filled with hopes of starting a new life with more freedoms. In 1889 the town Freewater was founded, given a name that would hopefully attract others, promising a free supply of drinking water to all new residents.

Both towns grew in the later 19th century thanks to railroad operations in the area. It wasn’t until 1947 that the idea of combining the two towns into one became a serious consideration. While a large percentage of Milton residents supported the merger, many Freewater residents were in opposition to the idea. In a November 1950 election, the two towns both approved the merger and became Milton-Freewater.

Adams

P.O. Box 20, 97810 • 541- 566-9380 • www.cityofadamsoregon.com The small town of Adams began on the homestead of John F. Adams, a local settler in the area. Adams quickly became a trading center for dry-land wheat once the railroads arrived in the area. In 1893 the town was incorporated by the state legislature and by the early 1900s was beginning to really become a little city, complete with local clubs and a newspaper. With modern advances in roads and transportation in the mid 1900s, business declined for the small trading center town that depended so heavily on railroad traffic to keep its economy booming.

The town’s original name was Centerville, not to be confused with Oregon’s other Centerville in Washington County or Washington state’s Centerville in the not far away Klickitat County. All this chance for confusion is what precipitated a name change in 1889, when the local school principal, D.W. Jarvis suggested “Athena.” In the 19th century, settlers of Scottish ancestry came to the area, bringing with them the customs of their homeland. The locals celebrated their heritage in the annual Caledonian Society picnic, which featured traditional Scottish dancing and music.

TOWNS & CITIES Echo

Helix

P.O. Box 9, 20 S. Bonanza St., 97826 • 541-376-8411 • echo-oregon.com The small town of Echo is home to the “Columbia Plateau Route” of the historic Oregon Trail. A trail that was used by emigrant parties, who diverted from the main trail, for the first time in 1847. This new path became the primary route for the Oregon Trail and so began the influx of people into what would become a small farming community. In the 1860s, settlers in the area built a ferry to cross the Umatilla River and later a bridge. In 1880, the town was officially platted by J.H. Koontz and W. Brassfield, town promoters. Koontz named the town for his 3-yearold daughter, Echo. Three years later the town received another growth spurt thanks to the new railroad that passed through, bringing with it opportunities for trade and economic development.

The story goes that the town was to be named Oxford but local authorities rejected that idea when it came time to name the little town’s first post office.

Supposedly then the local townspeople all agreed upon Helix (a part of the ear) since a community resident had recently undergone ear surgery. Though we don’t know if this is the true origin of the town’s name, it is the only story told of it.

Pilot Rock

Stanfield

During the gold rush of the BLue Mountains in the late 1860s, numerous men attempted to make a living catering to miners in the area, but none were quite as successful in the area as Andrew Strurtevant was.

Strertevant platted the town of Pilot Rock in 1876. He first arrived in the area in 1862 after pushing a wheelbarrow of his belongings all the way from Salem, Oregon. Strurtevant worked tirelessly at establishing the community of Pilot Rock, securing land for a school building and a local church. It was thanks to his hard work that Pilot Rock was chosen out of the area’s three settlements as the location for a post office.

Stanfield was originally called Foster but was renamed Stanfield after Robert N. Stanfield Jr. a prominent ranch owner in the area, who later became a United States Senator. The first post office was established in 1883.

Umatilla

P.O. Box 30, 700 Sixth St., 97882 • www.umatilla-city.org • 541-922-3226 For thousands of years the area which we now call Umatilla was home to the indigenous Umatilla peoples. In 1806 Lewis and Clarke made mention of the Native American village at the site which is now the city of Umatilla. In 1855 the Umatilla Indian Reservation was created, relocating many tribes and signing over a vast majority of their land to the U.S. Government. Not long after the signing of the treaty, gold was discovered nearby in Idaho, which increased travel along the Columbia and Umatilla River. A site was platted just below the Umatilla Rapids and was first known as Umatilla Landing. Over the years Umatilla became an important trading center for everything from gold from the miners, wheat from the farmers and wool from the ranchers. The entire town was abandoned and then rebuilt south of the railroad tracks due to being completely inundated by the construction of the John Day Dam in 1965.

MORROW/UMATILLA COUNTY FUN FACT Umatilla Chemical Depot

Umatilla County was home to the Umatilla Chemical Depot, a site covering about 20,00 acres near Hermiston where the U.S. Army stored about 12% of the nation’s chemical weapons from 1962 until 2011. That year the Army completed its mission of destroying those weapons.

MORROW/UMATILLA COUNTY FUN FACT Sheriff Til Taylor

One of Umatilla County’s most respected lawmen died in the line of duty. Sheriff Till Taylor was shot and killed during a jailbreak July 25, 1920. A posse eventually caught the five suspects. Two of them were sentenced to life, one was hanged in December 1920 and the remaining two were hanged in July 1922. The city named Til Taylor Park for the sheriff and erected a memorial there to him and other fallen officers.

Photo: A wreath hangs Aug. 14, 2020, in front of the statue memorializing former Umatilla County Sheriff Til Taylor at Til Taylor Park in Pendleton.
